Android parsing multiple HTML tables with Jsoup

Question

I am trying to parse an HTML page on the internet to retrieve data from a table in it with Jsoup. But the page I want to parse contains more than one table. How can I do that? Is that possible?

Edit: Here is the page I want to parse:

http://metudex.com/mobilepac/browse.php?SEARCH=calculus&kriter=X&Submit=Search

I want to retrieve data from the tables with book info.

It is entirely possible. Get a list of tables matching your requirements and iterate over them. — J David Smith

Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://metudex.com/mobilepac/browse.php?SEARCH=calculus&kriter=X&Submit=Search").get();

Elements els = doc.select("td:has(span.briefcitDetail)"); //gets every td that has a child span with class briefcitDetail

for(Element el : els) {
    System.out.println("--" + el.text());
}
